This is not a scary event. So come and make arachnophobia a thing of the past! Learn about the fascinating world of spiders with Dr. Drew Hataway from the Biological and Environment Sciences Department at Samford University. (He is also a master at keeping things non-scary.) The first part of this class will be held in the Education Building with a second part outside searching for spiders in the Gardens.

Dr. Hataway will discuss his experiences with spiders, both in the wild and in the laboratory. He'll even bring some interesting arachnids for us to view up close. Learn how to distinguish dangerous from non-dangerous spiders. Plus, bring your flashlights for a fun-filled field trip (after class) in search of harmless wolf spiders on the grounds of Aldridge Gardens. Their eyes glow in the dark!

The event cost is $20.
Each individual registration covers one adult and one student aged 5 to 12.
Registrations are limited to 15 tickets, for a total of 30 guests.
